Under \samples\solutions\solution.app then goto Windows API, Ger File Information

This sample allows you to display version information from a .DLL or .EXE.
A new function called GetFileVersion( ) has been added to FOXTOOL.FLL which allows you to obtain version information on a file. The following code illustrates how you can call the function. See TOOLS\FOXTOOLS.HLP for details on the specific array elements.

SET LIBRARY TO FoxTools ADDITIVE
DIMENSION aFileVer[12]
nRetVal = GetFileVersion(GetFile("EXE"),@aFileVer)
IF nRetVal = 0
DISPLAY MEMO LIKE aFileVer
ENDIF
SET LIBRARY TO
